DCMO BOCES BOE honors Gordon Daniels
NORWICH – At the DCMO BOCES Opening Day event on Tuesday, Sept. 6, Greene Central School Interim Superintendent Gordon Daniels received the 2016 Marshman-Hall Commitment to Education Award. The DCMO Board of Education commemorates this special recognition to the work of past board members, Dan Marshman and Bob Hall, who the Board says devoted their volunteer efforts to advancing educational opportunities for students in the region.
Chief Operations Officer Gray Stevens presented the award and shared comments from one of the nominators, Delaware Academy Superintendent Jason Thomson.
“This individual was raised in a family of educators and chose to dedicate his life to education. Simply put he is the best of the best…Nobody loves his students and staff more than Gordie.”
The DCMO BOCES Board says that Daniels’ education leadership journey began in 1975 as a middle school teacher at the Afton Central School, where he met the love of his life, Natalie Burgin. Daniels expanded his career with new roles as Physical Education Teacher, and then as Athletic Director at Afton where he coached students while applying his own personal sports experience.
In 1985, the Board says Daniels returned to Greene Central School where he would devote 22 years as a teacher, Middle School Principal, and later on as High School Principal. In 2006, Daniels advanced his educational career as the Franklin Central School Superintendent, and in 2016 he accepted the role of Interim Superintendent at the Greene Central School.
Daniels said, “Thank you for this award and your kind words. I have had the opportunity to learn from several dedicated educators such as my mother, Coach Jim Consagra, Nancy Bromley, and Dr. Michael Pavlovich, and a long list of teachers and coaches. Each taught me the importance of honesty, trust, respect, kindness, a commitment to excellence, and a love for your students. My wife, Natalie, has been the biggest influence on my life and my career. She has listened, counseled, and encouraged me every step. I share this award with each of these incredible educators–I love them all.”
DCMO BOCES Board President Linda Zazeck added, “It is our duty to memorialize Dan Marshman and Bob Hall’s contributions to education, and to honor the exemplary work of educators like Gordie who go beyond the call of duty to put our student's needs and opportunities first.”
